Smart Office Clients

Unified Communication Clients

Ribbon's Smart Office UC clients are intuitive communication tools for delivering voice, video, IM, presence and collaboration capabilities on both desktop and mobile devices. Use Smart Office as a primary communication client or pair it with a traditional business phone. Users gain a common experience across PC, Mac, iOS, Android, or a web browser; and Smart office can be deployed from a service provider's own network or the Kandy Business Solutions cloud.

Smart Office is more than another attractive UC client because it’s built on a new generation of technology that reduces the cost and complexity of UC deployments. Using a combination of WebRTC and client containers, Ribbon has created its own patent-pending technology -- called Omni. Omni clients are centrally managed, like a web page and browser-based client, but don’t sacrifice the rich functionality of a traditional client. Service providers and enterprise resellers can make changes to the client UI and see the results in just seconds, across multiple devices, without deploying a new client to every user. That means fewer calls for support and helps assure users have the latest and best experience.

Custom Colors and Tabs

Deploying Smart Office clients with Kandy Business Solutions unlocks an entirely new set of capabilities. Organizations can use the Kandy Business Portal to instantly customize the client colors to match their brand. More importantly, they can add custom tabs (buttons) that launch web services so the client is instantly tailored to the needs of their business to their users. Web pages can open in the client or on a separate web page. Add simple links such as help desk or company news or add critical business applications. There’s no need for systems integration specialists or complicated plug-ins – simply enter the web page. It’s even possible to pass conversation-specific information (caller ID, name, etc.) to other business applications, such as a CRM app. Smart Office users can be more responsive to their customers and get more done. Once your customers use the solution, they’ll never give it up for someone else’s generic UC client.

Reduce the Cost and Complexity of UC Client Deployments

Smart Office clients solve many of the common pain points associated with UC client deployments.

Extend with Smart Office Collaboration Rooms

More efficient communications expedite collaboration and decision making. Oversubscribed knowledge worker needs a higher level of engagement so they stay focused and get more done, in less time. Why be burdened with the complexity of a separate collaboration app with yet another address book and login? Smart Office Collaboration starts instantly and is a logical extension of the user's UC client (collaboration services can also be accessed vis browser - without a client). Each user has their own personal collaboration room with credentials that don't change so if a meeting moves by 30 minutes the meeting invitation doesn't change. Anyone with a web browser can connect and participate - in the office or from the road. Meet with one person or use Outlook to invite dozens of participants. Once connected, participants can hear and see each other in full HD, use group chat for sidebar discussions and of course, share screens or content. Smart Office tools enable users to connect, collaborate and make decisions so they can move on to the next task.
